“These do not come out fast enough !!!! (Also, small “note”: as they are posted three at a time, they are posted newest first when it should be oldest first because sometimes one episode builds on the last)”

“Hey everyone it’s TV’s Rob Long! (Credit to Jonah). Rob’s views, sense of humor and delivery are complete aces. He raises the bar significantly on any broadcast/podcast on which he appears. Sincerely Yours, Angry Villager with Torch”

“I’ve been a fan of Mr. Long’s work for some time now. He’ll transport you into the room or make you feel like your’re at the same table in his conversations. I hope his podcasts keep playing even after he stops making them - kinda like Car Talk (which still in 2019, I continue to listen to).”

“Im not leaving a review, but if it was a review it would be something like this ... Rob Long’s humorous insights on the “industry” were shared in his two brilliant and funny books - before the “sharing” and “streaming” of “content” took over the “business.” These podcasts are wonderful...”Read full review »

“Rob Long is a genius storyteller. All you need is 4 minutes and you are hooked. I was. I’m a loyal listener of the GLoP and just found out about this at the end of the podcast. I can’t believe I didn’t know about it before today! The “Jay” episode is everything! Heart you Rob Long!”
